Relays

Optimized for use in motor vehicles. Modules package one or more relays with other circuitry. Panel mount, plug-in and PC board versions are offered. Other applications include electric wheelchairs and battery powered material handling equipment.

Designed for use in HVAC systems and industrial equipment. Typically rated 20 amps and higher, with one to four poles and double-make/double-break contacts, typically with linear contact motion. Some devices may include one or more auxiliary switches.

Designed for safety with contacts that are mechanically linked so normally open and normally closed contacts cannot be closed simultaneously. Used in critical applications (elevators, escalators, light curtains, press controls, etc.)

Specifically designed to switch high voltages up to 70kV. The switching function is performed in either a vacuum or a gas-filled chamber. Some versions make and break loads, while others only carry current. RF rated models are available.

General Purpose Industrial Relays are available in Mid-Range and Power versions. The Mid-Range Relays are typically rated to carry maximum currents from 3 to 20 Amps. The Power Relays are typically rated to carry currents greater than 20 Amps.

Incorporate a mechanical or magnetic latching function, as well as relays that have a rotary actuation for excellent resistance to shock and vibration. Latching versions of specialized relays may be found in several other categories.

Hermetically sealed PC board, plug-in and panel mount relays, rated five Amps or less, designed for application in demanding conditions (extremes of temperature, shock, vibration, etc.). Offerings from one to six poles, some switching up to 6GHz.

Typically rated to carry maximum currents from 5 to 20 Amps in a broad range of commercial and industrial applications. The splash-resistant, flux-tight and sealed models in this category were specifically designed for mounting on a PC board.

Typically rated to carry maximum currents from 5 to 20 Amps in a variety of commercial and industrial applications. With one to eight poles, they were originally designed to be plugged into a socket or mounted to a panel, but PC terminals are an option.

Rated to carry maximum currents greater than 20 Amps in a broad range of applications. The open, enclosed, flux-tight and sealed models in this category were designed for PC board mounting. Also, some panel mount and PC terminal options.

Rated to carry maximum currents greater than 20 Amps in a broad range of applications. The open and enclosed models included in this category were originally designed for mounting on a panel, but some models offer PC terminals as an option.

Solid state relays offer one, two or four outputs and can switch up to 125 Amps. Available for panel or PC board mounting and are used in many diverse applications. Input/output modules are designed for industrial automation systems.

These relays combine an internal electronic or pneumatic timer with an electromechanical or solid state output. Single-function and field-programmable multi-function types are offered. Timing modules typically control an external relay that switches the load.
